Agrochemical products are used in agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture. They consist of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, etc. The demand for food grains due to the increase in the population along with reduction in the per capita farm land due to urbanisation and industrialization drives the Agrochemical Market. Growth of horticulture, floriculture further boosts the demand for crop protection. Modern herbicides are used for crops like cereals, grains, vegetables. They can decompose in a short time after application. The increasing awareness about health benefits of green vegetables and fruits will drive the growth of organic agrochemicals. Synthetic agrochemicals threaten the state of the environment and are hence replaced by bio based fertilizers.

This has resulted in their consumption in meals everyday. The increasing demand for edible oil has resulted in growing demand for oil seeds. This catapults the growth of micro agro chemicals.

The growth potential in the emerging market provides plenty of chances for agriculture pesticides. The limited availability of arable land due to urbanisation propels the growth of crop protection chemicals.

The main drivers for organic pesticides are trade liberalisation, modernisation, and reduced cost of transport.
